Philippine tax for digital services

Soon we will be paying more for digital services, even internet identifier like domain names can be included, and that's a definitive VAT. In PH it's equivalent to 12%. Although, we still have to see invoice for domain names registration and renewal fees being added with VAT. You should be getting reminders from your local and international service providers to key-in your tax details, if you haven't yet done so. We must say, this is especially for those who had to directly acquire digital services with the source and not through local resellers. If you've been dealing with local resellers, your digital services may probably have been subjected with, and had added, VAT included in your payment ever since. You should be, but you have to check it.  For online local retailers, you may have been VAT registered and paying your taxes with or without that digital tax. Don't take this as an advice and ascertain it with your accountant to be sure.

An IT consultant is

An IT practitioner, who is technical in various elements of, directly or indirectly relevant to its, business. 

The core being information technology and contiguous facilities, the kind of work we cover, in iclassed or as IT consultants, contractors, managed service provider and educators. It's number one in the entire agenda to be suave in its technical worth. The others or various number twos that require the IT consultant's attention, for the sake of being in business, are to take care of its market, customers, research, finances et al. 

That should mean the IT consultant must know its own business and is the real deal. 

An IT consultant must be an IT practitioner. 

It cannot be magic that all of a sudden somebody became an IT consultant, doing high level kind of job, they say. With solid foundations, these are learning, practice which must be encompassing and research at the very least, an IT consultant will have practical and tangible impact in the business. IT is not impossible and is solvable no matter how complex it is. Imagine, AI and quantum computing are already in the wild. 

An IT practitioner does the job to make sure there is sustainability in its output. Constraints in the job including time and resources, say, on urgent requirements or special projects, are also made apparent by the IT consultant from the beginning. 

Clients must know their IT consultant well. That their business are being attended to judiciously, supported and facilitated constantly by its work.

IT practice is veracious at the same time it must be extensive. Isn't that the best business solution to have? It's natural to any business make everyone perform and focus on their own work processes and continually improve them along. Without the regular grumbles in their production or social media recreations, with IT, business makes perfect sense. 

An IT practitioner will need everything to properly discharge duties and responsibilities. With its technical facilities and direction of the business it may build a lasting multi-sided platforms that all stakeholders can take advantage of to really achieve goals. It's a necessary contribution to the bigger output of the whole organization.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...
